IT’S COMPLICATED: TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT
Message by Josh Mutter – May 18, 2025
- The Old Testament is the defining story of the Jewish people.
Isaiah 1:18 NIV Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.
- The story of the Jewish people has been shaped by the tragedy of the exile.
2 Kings 23:26 NIV Nevertheless, the Lord did not turn away from the heat of his fierce anger, which burned against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to arouse his anger.
2 Chronicles 33:12-13 NIV In his distress he [Manasseh] sought the favor of the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his ancestors. And when he prayed to him, the Lord was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so he brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom.
